DeCastro anyone?

[tredadda]

Now that we have our RT and missed out on the RGIII and Luck sweepstakes, how would people feel about drafting David DeCastro? The way I see it is unless we trade our first this year to someone for their first next year (assuming there is someone willing to do this) who else could we really use at #11? To me

1. Richardson will most likely be gone

2. Tannehill is a horrible idea at #11 assuming he is even there.

3. There are no NTs worth a #11 pick.

Why not get an elite guard and have a young monstrous O-Line with Albert-DeCastro-Hudson-Asamoah-Winston?

I am usually against the thought of drafting O-line in the first, but we are in a spot talent wise where he would be a great pickup since we will miss out on QB (clearly our biggest flaw) this year.

If there is no one there you want to draft, who is there that anyone would trade up for?

This seems to escape nearly everyone here.

Different teams have different needs.

Who's behind us that may want to trade up for the best OT available?

Would the Rams be willing to give up a future number 1 for a chance to draft Reiff?

You think we can just give up having a first round pick this year?

The best OT available is not going to be worth the #11 pick. People need to realize that OTHER teams are aware of the draft class' weakness as well.

Suck it up and draft Poe or Decastro. I think Kuechly is great, but is redundant in this system with the presence of DJ.

That would be the best solution by far, but a team has to be willing to give up a first next year for our first this year. There is no position that we HAVE to get at #11 this year.

Only thing that worries me with adding Decastro, only thing, is that it would mean we are starting three new olineman. That could be a little difficult.

and a new oline coach too. we are effectively eliminating all variables which is good. i think we had the worst pass blocking oline in the nfl last year

Guard is the easiest position to find all over the draft.

Spending a high first on a guard is a terrible waste of value.

CB (Jenkins), pass rusher (Perry), or almost any other position other than guard.

This. Guard is probably the least impactful position on the field.

Milkman is correct. And when you will be running most of the time and throwing 3-5 yard passes, you don't need the line to hold very long. Just saying.
